ESI Virtual Performance Solution results, shared using ESI-Player, on a tablet www.esi-group.com/company/press/news-releases/esi-unleashes-further-productivity-and-time-gains-latest-release-its-multi-domain-platform-visual ESI unleashes further productivity and time gains with the latest release of its multi-domain platform Visual-Environment 11.5

Paris, France – March 3, 2016 – ESI Group, pioneer and world-leading solution provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, announces the latest version of its multi-domain simulation platform, Visual-Environment 11.5. ESI Visual-Environment manages simulation processes in a single unified environment — from pre- and post-processing to meshing, viewing results, automating tasks – across multiple domains. By relying on a single core compute model, Visual-Environment eliminates tedious data exchange, hence helping industrial manufacturers reduce product development cost and time. The latest version Visual-Environment 11.5 now supports Modelica®-based systems modeling and simulation, and virtual product assembly. Meanwhile, the new ESI-Player application enables engineers to visualize their ESI result files anywhere at any time.

Venu Kommanaboyina, Section Manager at Renault Nissan Technology & Business Center in India, comments: “The implementation of CAE automation with Visual-Environment platform in RNTBCI enables drastic reduction of manual effort in all operation activities by 90%. It also enables quick turnaround as there is no lead time between pre-processing, solver run, post-processing and report generation. In addition to direct benefits like cost savings, it minimizes human error and enables engineers to concentrate on improving vehicle performance without considering underlying CAE technology, as the technology is standardized and controlled centrally by dedicated CAE experts. The platform Visual-Environment makes possible easier data, knowledge and technology management. Using the same integrated framework, ESI’s concept of Virtual Integration Platform provides RNTBCI with many opportunities in knowledge-based engineering and data mining.”

To complement this release, ESI launches ESI-Player ESI Virtual Performance Solution results, shared using ESI-Player, on a tablet -

CAE Associates - Blog –- Moving Forward with Reverse Engineering https://caeai.com/blog/moving-forward-reverse-engineering :

Picture yourself in a Dan Brown novel. A mysterious person steps into your office and hands you an odd looking widget covered with dust. He tells you that this item was discovered recently in a pyramid somewhere and he believes it holds ancient engineering secrets. He needs you to reverse engineer it and save the world. Typical day at the office, right? I’ve found myself in this situation many times, though usually without the drama and intrigue. Whether it was an evaluation of a competitor’s product, or the brain child of a long retired designer, I needed to reverse engineer it so I could understand it and improve on it.

In the past, my process went something like this:

1) Get a ruler and some calipers and start measuring.

2) Create a geometry model in my CAD tool based on those measurements. 3) Import the geometry into an FEA or CFD analysis tool and evaluate it. 4) Identify aspects of the design I could improve on. 5) Modify the geometry and re-evaluate until I was happy with the new design.

This approach could be very time consuming in the geometry creation stage, as well as in the modification stage. The geometry could be defined parametrically, provided I had an idea of what aspects of the design I would be studying. Without that knowledge, the design iterations had to be updated manually. There was also the issue of measuring things I could not see or reach. In those situations, I had to make my best guess and hope that my analysis was close enough to the original design to be accurate.

CAE Associates - Blog –- Moving Forward with Reverse Engineering Recently, scanning technology has become better and more readily available. Scanned geometry data is typically in STL form where the topology is made up of triangular faceted faces. The STL data can be converted to a solid model using CAD tools, but still requires a significant amount of cleanup before it can be used to create a finite element model. Changing the geometry is also difficult with most CAD tools because the STL model is imported and there is no parametric feature history. With scan data, we have a more accurate way to reproduce the geometry but still no easy way to change it and perform design studies. More recently, direct modeling CAD programs with reverse engineering tools have been introduced. Check out CAE Associates’ ANSYS SpaceClaim demonstration for more information. These tools are really good at extracting topology from complex STL files to create accurate and….wait for it….parametric solid models! Direct modeling tools allow you to morph solid model geometry with ease. The method is interactive so you can modify virtually any aspect of the model with the click of the mouse. You control the design intent based on the design modifications you want to explore. The geometry changes can be

controlled parametrically so that you can automate your design studies and fully evaluate the design sensitivities. Consider the example shown in the figure above. With a direct modeling tool, STL data from a scan can be used as the baseline to create a solid model. That solid model can be used to create a finite element or CFD model where we can evaluate the design. The analysis of the original gives us an idea of what characteristics of the design need to change to improve the performance. At this point, a direct modeler again comes to the rescue by allowing us to easily modify those characteristics. We then plug the modified design into the finite element solver in order to evaluate the design change. This can be accomplished as a manual design study or automated by taking advantage of the parametric definition of the design modifications in the direct modeler. Is anyone out looking for ways to reverse engineer? The tools you need are out there!

BOOK - Nonlinear Solid Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis: Statics

Designing engineering components that make optimal use of materials requires consideration of the nonlinear static and dynamic characteristics associated with both manufacturing and working environments. The modeling of these characteristics can only be done through numerical formulation and simulation, which requires an understanding of both the theoretical background and associated computer solution techniques. By presenting both the nonlinear solid mechanics and the associated finite element techniques together, the authors provide, in the first of two books in

this series, a complete, clear, and unified treatment of the static aspects of nonlinear solid mechanics. Alongside a range of worked examples and exercises are user instructions, program descriptions, and examples for the FLagSHyP MATLAB computer implementation, for which the source code is available online. While this book is designed to complement postgraduate courses, it is also relevant to those in industry requiring an appreciation of the way their computer simulation programs work.

Book Description This book provides a clear and complete postgraduate introduction to the theory and computer programming for the complex simulation of material behavior. It will also

appeal to those in industry wishing to appreciate the way their computer simulations work.

Airbag Folding and Morphing One Day Class – 14th Int’l LS-DYNA Conference One Day Pre Conference - Airbag Folding and Morphing Class Sunday, June 12th - Limited Space - fee $300 Reserve now! Contact class@lstc.com Subject line: Airbag Folding and Morphing Registration on line will be available Monday, March 7th Airbag Folding and Morphing

Airbags come in different shapes and sizes and are utilized to prevent injury to occupants in a vehicle. Some of the bags are currently standard in Vehicles are, Driver, Passenger, Side, Roof Rail and Knee Airbags. Bags have to meet both performance and packaging criteria to be fit into interior trim compartments. Folding of these bags into tight spaces without affecting their behavior is important for both OEMs and Airbag manufacturers. Folding can be carried out using PreProcessors or by running a LS-Dyna simulation. Simulation based folding is gaining foothold in complex folding patterns and crush folding of bags. LS-Prepost has both Pre-Processor based folding and has recently added an interface for Simulation based folding called DynFold.

Folding using either of these methods can cause some elements to shrink or get severely distorted. To avoid this and to make sure the

bag shape and volume is retained LS-Dyna utilizes reference geometry. By changing the reference geometry of the bag its volume and shape can be changed. This can help in making quick studies on bag deployment and interaction with the Occupant. LS-Prepost has morphing capabilities that have been adapted to change the Shape of reference geometries. Length of class will be 1 day. Introduction of folding methods followed by hands-on workshops. Prior knowledge of LS-DYNA and LS-PREPOST will help students focus on learning folding techniques.

This class will introduce • Preprocessor Based Folding

o Thin, Thick, Tuck and Spiral Folding Patterns

• DynFold for Simulation Based folding o SPC, Rollers, Tuck folds, Crush

Folding, Zig-Zag folding • Morphing methods

Further solutions or corrections may have been posted after this excerpt. Question: The simulation runs till the ball impacts the plate and then gives a error message as " Negative Volume in solid element #.... cycle..." and it gives error termination. If an element becomes so distorted that the volume of the element is calculated as negative, the simulation has become numerical unstable and will not yield a reasonable result.

· Municipality of Stuttgart and Logistics

Company Hermes to test five battery-powered Fuso Canter E-Cell in tough everyday working environment

· Fuso as leading producer of partially and fully electric light-duty trucks with some 3500 hybrid trucks in service

· Investment in the amount of 40 Million Euro in the development of electric driving by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation so far

· Growing relevance of electric trucks for urban short-radius distribution

· Dr Wolfgang Bernhard: "In urban short-radius distribution, a switch to electric trucks will become technically feasible and economically viable within a few years' time. With this fleet test, we are making a small yet important contribution to urban mobility in Stuttgart. Daimler Trucks is pushing ahead with the further development of this technology. Together with the

Municipality of Stuttgart and the Hermes Company, we are taking a key step towards market maturity today."

· Result of the fleet test in Portugal: Light-duty truck Fuso Canter E-Cell saves 1000 euros over 10,000 kilometres and cuts operating costs by up to 64 percent

Stuttgart – Daimler Trucks, the world's leading truck producer, is launching the first fleet test for emission-free, electric trucks in Germany today. Dr Wolfgang Bernhard, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Daimler Trucks & Daimler Buses, and Marc Llistosella, President and CEO of the Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) and Head of Daimler Trucks Asia, handed over the five battery-powered Fuso Canter E-Cells to Stuttgart's mayor, Fritz Kuhn, and the Hermes Logistics Company today.

Daimler Trucks launches fleet test with electric truck from Fuso Daimler Trucks' Fuso brand is the leading producer of partially and all-electric light-duty trucks. The Daimler Truck branch invested in 2014 and 2015 in total 2.5 Billion Euro in research and development with the focus on connectivity, safety and drive efficiency. Within the efficiency topic electric mobility of course plays a major role. The Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation (MFTBC) invested 40 Million Euro in the development of electric driving so far.

Over the next twelve months, the Municipality of Stuttgart will test four 6-tonne Fuso Canter E-Cell in a tough everyday working environment. Two vehicles with hydraulic tipper bodies are to be deployed in road construction and landscaping. Two vehicles with box bodies will be assigned to municipal furniture transport and waste disposal operations. Another Canter E-Cell will carry out parcel deliveries in urban traffic for the Hermes Company.

Electrically powered trucks predestined for urban short-radius distribution Dr Bernhard noted at the handover ceremony: "Today's combustion engine is highly efficient, eco-friendly and, above all, clean. In long-distance transport it will remain the only option for a long time to come. In urban short-radius distribution, a partial switch to electric trucks will become technically feasible and economically viable within a few years' time. With this fleet test, we are making a small yet important contribution to urban mobility in Stuttgart. Daimler Trucks is pushing ahead with the further development of this technology. Together with the Municipality of Stuttgart and

the Hermes Company, we are taking a key step towards market maturity today."

Marc Llistosella emphasized: "We at Fuso have acquired extensive experience in the development of local emission-free commercial vehicles. I am firmly convinced that the Canter E-Cell will now proof its strengths in the German climate and in the topographically very demanding area of urban Stuttgart. The Canter E-Cell offers our customers transport services which are not only environment-friendly, but also economical. Our test in Lisbon revealed savings of around 1000 euros per 10,000 kilometres in comparison to diesel trucks."

Stuttgart's mayor, Fritz Kuhn, observed: "Sustainable mobility is a key issue for cities and electric mobility is an important element. This is where the Municipality of Stuttgart is showing the way. We've decided to make a change to our fleet: all new cars purchased by the Municipality will be electric. I think this sends out a very strong signal. So we're also very happy to test the four Canter E-Cell vehicles in day-to-day city traffic."

"Daimler and Hermes are united by a long and joint tradition in the promotion of alternative drives", explains Dirk Rahn, Managing Director Operations at Hermes Logistics Group Germany. "As a pioneer in the industry, we as a company were among the first to test the early electric vehicles under real-world conditions. We are similarly proud today to be using the new electric 6-tonne truck for our parcel deliveries. The project is part of our long-term climate protection programme, under which we intend to systematically halve the CO2 emissions of our fleet by 2020.

Daimler Trucks launches fleet test with electric truck from Fuso

Results of the first fleet test in Portugal: Canter E-Cell cuts operating costs by up to 64 percent In the course of an initial fleet test in Portugal, the Canter E-Cell has already proven its merits in short-range delivery operations and urban transport. During the year-long test from June 2014 to June 2015, eight vehicles were in service with customers in Lisbon. With ranges of over 100 kilometres, the vehicles exceeded the average daily distance covered by many trucks in light-duty short-radius distribution. On the basis of the prevailing costs of diesel and electricity during the test period in Portugal, operating costs were lowered by up to 64 percent in comparison to a conventional diesel truck. Canter E-Cell developed at the hybrid centre of excellence in Kawasaki: Fuso is pushing ahead with the further development of this drive technology while the current customer trials are still in progress. Fuso's engineers are already working on the next generation of the Canter E-Cell – with the firm goal of making it even more suitable for everyday use and more economical. At the centre of excellence for hybrid vehicles in Kawasaki, Japan, Daimler Trucks possesses more than 40 years of experience in the development of alternative drive systems. The engineers at the "Global Hybrid Center" were also responsible for developing the battery-electric, local emission-free Canter E-Cell, in close cooperation with the colleagues at the Tramagal plant. The electrically powered light-

duty truck was premiered at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show in 2010. The current test fleet was manufactured on a prototype production line at the Fuso plant in Tramagal, Portugal.

Fuso leads the field in partially electric light-duty trucks with the Canter Eco Hybrid uso is the leading manufacturer of partially electric light-duty trucks. Some 3500 Fuso Canter Eco Hybrids are in service with customers around the world. The handling strategy for the Canter Eco Hybrid is based on the vehicle starting up and moving off in quiet, electric mode. Then, at a speed of around 10 km/h, the diesel engine cuts in. Below this speed, it also runs at idle to supply power to the ancillary assemblies. Another strength of the Canter Eco Hybrid is its load capacity. The additional weight resulting from the hybrid drive amounts to only around 150 kilograms. This means a load capacity of up to 4.8 tonnes for the 7.5-tonne model as a chassis with cab.

Daimler Trucks Asia's headquarters and the largest plant are located in Kawasaki, near Tokyo. The second plant, at which trucks of the BharatBenz and Fuso brands are produced, is in Chennai, India. Some 170,000 trucks and buses of the Fuso and BharatBenz brands are produced annually in Kawasaki and Chennai for the Japanese and Indian market as well as for the export. They are sold in more than 150 countries. As such, Daimler Trucks Asia accounts for over 30 percent of Daimler's global truck sales. Fuso is the Daimler Group's best-selling truck brand.

NASA to Attach, Test First Expandable Habitat on International Space Station

The first human-rated expandable structure that may help inform the design of deep space habitats is set to be installed to the International Space Station Saturday, April 16. NASA Television coverage of the installation will begin at 5:30 a.m. EDT. The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) will be attached to the station’s Tranquility module over a period of about four hours. Controllers in mission control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will remove BEAM from the unpressurized trunk of SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, using the robotic Canadarm2, and move it into position next to Tranquility’s aft assembly port. NASA astronauts aboard the station will secure BEAM using common berthing mechanism controls. Robotic operations begin at 2:15 a.m. and are expected to be complete by 6:15 a.m. BEAM launched aboard Dragon on April 8 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. At the end of May, the module will be

expanded to nearly five times its compressed size of 7 feet in diameter by 8 feet in length to roughly 10 feet in diameter and 13 feet in length. Astronauts will first enter the habitat about a week after expansion and, during a two-year test mission, will return to the module for a few hours several times a year to retrieve sensor data and assess conditions. Expandable habitats are designed to take up less room on a rocket, but provide greater volume for living and working in space once expanded. This first test of an expandable module will allow investigators to gauge how well the habitat performs overall and, specifically, how well it protects against solar radiation, space debris and the temperature extremes of space. Once the test period is over, BEAM will be released from the space station, and will burn up during its descent through Earth’s atmosphere.
